The Break Up: Why You Should NEVER Get Back With an Ex

октября 07, 2020

When we’re single and having a tough time dating there comes a time when we hit that point (some would call it rock bottom) where we go against our better judgment, bite the bullet, and decide to do the unthinkable…

That is, get back with the EX.

While this may seem rational at the time, such a decision proves time and time again to be completely, irrational.

Here’s why you should never get back with an EX

You broke up for a reason

A pretty valid reason, that is. After years of being with someone, you don’t just wake up one day and say, “You know, I really don’t like you anymore’. Face it, it just never happens that way. Usually the thought has been in the works for months (years even). It’s been contemplated, it’s been discussed, and at the end of the day a decision is made… A pretty BOLD decision, that is. Deciding to be apart requires a lot of strong arguments…arguments that support why you’re so WRONG for each other. Why fight it?

The reason will always be a reason

…To break up AGAIN. I know, we often fall for the classic sales pitch of the exes who claim they’ve changed . (Nothing beats the schpeel about changing after 2 weeks). But face it, even if circumstances do change, personalities never change. And all excuses aside, that’s the REAL reason people break up. It’s never about THINGS or whatever it is going on around them (although that’s what we insist on saying), but it has everything to do with WHO they are. And that just never changes. Period.

You’ll be living a lie

You can’t rationalize being involved in something that you’ve already convinced the world is WRONG for you. Not only will you be lying to everyone, but more importantly, you’ll be lying to yourself. (Which quite frankly, is the worst type of lie). Let’s be honest. Does this person really make you happy? Do you feel like you can be yourself? Do you make them happy? These are questions you need to ask yourself. You know the truth better than anyone else. Be honest..with yourself.

Nothing justifies being miserable

Not even a white wedding. Not even a crew of kids. (That IS, the reason we seek the EX after all, isn’t it?) What’s the point of settling for someone that provides the works without the fireworks? There’s no sense in living a life of luxury with someone you can’t stomach or worse, can’t stomach you. That’s not living.

Exes should remain where they belong….EXED OUT.

Let’s start dating smarter!
